Fox's Animation Domination line-up of Sunday comedies will be dominated by guest stars this fall, the network announced Friday. That's nothing new, but there are a few surprises among the people lending their voices to "The Simpsons," "Family Guy," The Cleveland Show," "American Dad," which all return Sept. 25, and the new "Allen Gregory," which premieres Oct. 30. Check out the list below:
THE SIMPSONS
